JAKARTA - Head of the DKI Environment Agency, Asep Kuswanto, said that his party would again supervise the compliance of administrative sanctions given to PT Karya Citra Nusantara (KCN) within two weeks after the sanctions were imposed.

This sanction was given because PT KCN was proven to have polluted coal dust in the Marunda area, North Jakarta, thus disturbing the health of residents.

"We have just handed over the sanctions and improving the management will also take time. We will carry out periodic monitoring in the future every two weeks. We ask KCN to immediately implement the sanctions as soon as possible," Asep told reporters, Tuesday, March 22.

Asep said that in general the administrative sanctions referred to are obliging PT KCN to make improvements in terms of water quality management, movable and immovable source emissions, B3 waste, solid waste, noise, and air, as well as submit implementation documents.

If PT PCN does not finish carrying out the sanctions within the specified time limit, the DKI Provincial Government will again impose further sanctions, namely freezing its business license.

"When the government's coercive sanctions are not implemented, then we will carry out the next stage of the sanctions, namely freezing of permits. Then, up to the revocation of business licenses," he said.

For information, Marunda residents have started to feel this air pollution disturbance since 2018. The culprit is PT KCN, which is a port manager that has loading and unloading activities for solid and wet bulk commodities, including coal.
